a blog for the dolls

Archive for November, 2013

This is Rachel. She’s named after my sister. We made her at Build-a-Bear about 8 years ago. The line was called Friends 2B Made, and we never saw them at Build-a-Bears here on the west coast; we built them in Ohio. There’s also a Marjorie dolly, but she lives at my sister’s house.

Happy Thanksgiving! This is Pita. Her character’s from Mexico, so has decided not to celebrate thanksgiving.
By the way, Pita is a Karito Kids doll. She’s lovely. It’s sad karito kids went out of business–she needs more clothes.

I am a little obsessed with Pinkalicious. While Becky’s daughter had a Pinkalicious party for her 4th birthday, she has kinda grown out of that now 4 years later. The same is not true for me. I heart Pinkalicious. I went to Pinkalicious the Musical last summer in Toronto. I still listen to the cd. So being a fan of both Pinkalicious and Madame Alexander, I had to get this doll. And this book.

Nicki, Girl of the Year 2007, is my 9th American Girl. I wasn’t planning on adding her to my collection until I saw her in person at the American Girl Place in Chicago. She’s so cute! I love her freckles and her hair color. (Hey, that’s the same thing I said about Nellie!). I decided my Nicki doll should wear glasses.

In the Molly celebration going on at my house, Nicki is ready for Camp Gowanagin:

I bought Nellie on ebay this year, making her my 29th American Girl doll. I really really like her. She’s the only girl with her face shape and freckles. She’s the only girl with her strawberry blond hair color. Here are photos from the day she arrived:

about this blog

My name is Marjorie. In most respects I am a grown up, in that I'm old enough to be a grown up and I have a full time job. I'm Marjorie. I'm a grown up. I love my dolls. I'm a Mormon.
I have recently decided to dedicate this blog to my dolls. Maybe I think they need to make more friends on the internet. I currently collect American Girl, Maplelea, A Girl for All Time, and Carpatina. I have others too...I look forward to you meeting all of my dolls. Have a nice day.
